Now imagine if you worked in healthcare and witnessed demonstrations like this every day at work.

I appreciate you taking the time and energy to share this story with us. I love the quiet observation and openness you experienced to learn from or be moved by these two strangers. I love how (in my mind at least) this man was just doing what he does - - showing love through patience and care - - AND his actions were a gift to you as well. I am reflective of the times where it is hard for me to be patient. I don't think it is ever about what the other person is doing (really), I think it is about my state of being.

I just envisioned the couple’s day leading up to the appointment. There were probably a dozen interactions like this just to get her to and through the appointment. I hope I can learn from this, I’m such an impatient bastard.

Our world is not patient with us, certainly.
